Hi guys, got my ship date finally, May 17th. Wasn't able to book a job though, and have a few questions.

I made it really clear with my liaison at MEPS I did not want an open general contract (duh), so I listed my 5 jobs, but also agreed that if one of those jobs wasn't available I'd receive my ship date, and be able to list 5 jobs in the general category that I wanted again while at basic.

Can someone let me know if this is just a way of them lying to me into basically a manipulated form of open general, since once I'm at basic I have already signed my life away? My recruiter has assured me that it is NOTHING like open general, and even advised me against putting security forces on the list, because I'll almost 100% get it.

I'm hoping the thought process on this is that they get me to basic, I list 5 jobs again, I get one of them, and then I just wait for a class slot to open up, and I do *****work at lackland until then.

I'll be in training regardless. Which by the way is dry as hell right now. COIN training and MDMP taught by the army is beyond taxing.

COIN is ****ing retarded. It has it's pros and cons but its stupid. Operating as an OEF unit was way better than ISAF/COIN

This isnt 100% true. Yes we are like the second largest career field or something like that but last I heard we were at 101% manning (career field wide). Our manning at my base is at 115% for security forces. Our last commander liked deployments haha.

They are forcing people to retrain into CATM and K9 so we have the people just not in certain areas. But believe me... SF always needs people. So its better to not put it on if you dont want it because the "needs of the air force" usually means for SF.

Has a lot more cons IMO. Doesn't allow you to effectively fight the bad guys.

QFTMFT and it restricted our mission so much

Well, i got apendesitis here on KAF and just had an appendectomy. Can't think of a better place to have a surgery done than here, world class doctors are all around.

Does this mean I get a purple heart?

No but we'll get you a prostetic appendix
